*Hyndburn Family Left Devastated After Fatal Car Crash on M65*
A devastating car crash on the M65 has left a Hyndburn family in shock and grief after claiming the life of a loved one. The incident occurred late last night near junction 7, causing significant disruption to traffic in the area.
According to police, the collision involved two vehicles, and one person was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The deceased has been named as 32-year-old Sarah Taylor, a popular resident of Hyndburn known for her community work and charity efforts. Sarah’s family is said to be heartbroken, and friends are rallying around them in support.
“Sarah was an amazing person who always put others before herself,” said a family friend. “She will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her.”
The cause of the crash is currently under investigation, with police urging anyone with dashcam footage or information to come forward. The M65 was closed in both directions for several hours to allow for cleanup and investigation, causing significant delays for morning commuters.
As news of the crash spreads, the community is coming together to offer support to Sarah’s family. A fundraising page has been set up to help with funeral expenses, and local businesses are offering their condolences.
“Sarah’s loss will be felt deeply in our community,” said Hyndburn Councillor Kate Walsh. “Our thoughts are with her family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.”
The police are appealing for witnesses to contact them to assist with the investigation. Anyone with information is urged to call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
